Overview
- The APC Smart-UPS C 1500VA is a professional-grade line-interactive UPS built for Australian businesses that cannot afford downtime. As a 2U rackmount unit, it fits neatly into standard 19-inch server cabinets whilst providing 1500VA of protected power capacity and 900W of usable load.
This UPS delivers pure sine wave output to safely power sensitive network equipment, servers, and storage systems. The integrated SmartConnect port grants you cloud-based remote access for real-time monitoring, firmware updates, and email-based diagnostics—critical for managed service providers and distributed IT teams. Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) maintains clean power within specified tolerances, reducing reliance on battery power during minor voltage fluctuations.
With USB and serial connectivity, PowerChute Business Edition integration enables graceful server shutdown during extended outages, protecting data integrity. The built-in graphic LCD provides instant visibility of UPS health, load percentage, remaining runtime, and battery status—essential information during power events.
Backup runtime reaches 10+ minutes at full load, sufficient for controlled shutdown or switchover to secondary power. The SMC1500I-2UC is ideal for organisations seeking reliable, monitoring-capable UPS protection without enterprise-level complexity or cost.
